The Rutland Herald said officials estimate the bear had its head stuck in the old-fashioned milk can for at least six hours before it was found.
Fish and Wildlife Biologist Forrest Hammond said the bear had been running and bumping into trees and boulders.
Hammond used soap to lubricate the bear's head so the can could be pulled off, but it didn't work. Firefighters helped him cut the can off.
